Hi guys just finishe a job running new pipe from the mains to the kitchen and bathroom hot and cold supplies. Customer has just phoned me and said that the pressure is low. The old pipe was wider than 15mm and i think it was lead. Now it's all 15mm. Is that the problem?


Hoping to get some replies asap lol because I have to go back now.
 
Did you put new taps in?

No. I have a feeling i may have repiped wrong somewhere as it was spaghetti junction under the sink. It's a combi and there is hot water coming out the taps. Not sure what I can try to fix it.

Hot water coming out hot and cold taps ?
 
As long as you’ve piped it correct and the new pipework & fittings had no foreign objects or muck inside them prior to the install – you should be good.
 
There's hot coming out the hot taps and cold water pressure is fine. I have no idea. going to go down there now and try and look like i know what i'm doing. Please keep the replies coming going to take laptop with me.
 
Was it Ok before you left the house?
Partially closed ISOs?!
 
It could be a coincidence – the combi is playing up!? It's a long shot though.
